Abstract

XG-III laser facility is a petawatt laser which has a unique feature of three synchronized pulses output for various pump-probe experiments. To realize the synchronization with zero timing jitter, we have designed and implemented a novel front-end system based on super-continuum injected femtosecond optical parametric amplification (fs:OPA). Critical parameters of fs:OPA were optimized for the best conversion efficiency. Experimental results verified that major design specifications such as pulse energy, central wavelength and spectral width were fully accomplished and a high pulse contrast ratio was also achieved by the fs:OPA process.
